The service was warm, passionate, and full of sincere worship and prayer. Additionally, some of our kids shared their testimonies during the service; it was so impactful! Finally, the church prepared an amazing lunch for everyone! We are so grateful!

VBS Fun!

Our team worked together and prepared a great Vacation Bible School plan for the kids in the local area here at Lake Grove Baptist Church. The kids learned a new dance, played memory verse games, competed in a building blocks construction game, had snack time, and painted decorations. We ended the time with a pizza party for everyone! It was a ton of fun and a blessing to be a part of!

St. Vincent Banana Sorting

by Cathy Kirk | July 20, 2022 9:57 AM

These ladies worked so hard to sort the good bananas from the bad bananas.  

Something that would seem so trivial to many of us is an important component of the ministry at St. Vincent.  They are mindful that good food and plentiful food is passed out to their community.
